    Janssen distributes this bench - which quickly allows one to adjust height. In some ways, it looks to be superior to the regular artist bench they make. It also looks like a good match for the Yamaha.

      I almost recommended the Yamaha Artist Chair. I have one - which sits next to the piano with my music sitting on it - but looking it up, it is unbelievably expensive - $625!

        10 days later it arrived. Not bad over Christmas.

        Some comparisons to the Jansen (at least I assume the Bosendorfer branded bench is a Jansen).

        Top, CPS Import on right:

        Front:

        Underneath, you can see the quality difference but the cheap one isn't really that cheap.

        In more detail. First the Bosie/Jansen:

        Now the new one:

        In place:

          Definitely has a nice solid feel to it, though not quite the same as the Jansen. I'm pretty happy I bought it. Granted, it's the first day. But it won't get raised or lowered much, probably not at all, so one presumes it will last just fine.

            @jon-nyc how is the weight?

            The CPS benches I have seen before were substantially lighter.

                I'll wait for the data.

                  Glad it seems to be what you were hoping for.

                  The Bose bench doesn't look like a Jansen. Obviously it's held up for a number of years, so whether it was made in-house, or by some other manufacture, it's well made.

                  Jansen legs are attached to the body, and have an adjusting mechanism similar your newer bench. (just much more heavy duty)

                      My adjustable piano benches weigh in at roughly 23 lb. each.

                        Yeah, @Rich is right. I’ve never met a Jansen bench under 45 lbs.
